School officials say three students wore the gorilla masks, and say it was a misunderstanding.

Officials apologized to Parkview but these protesters say that's not enough.

“Apology will not work. They've been apologizing forever. And apologies is not correcting the situation,” said Booker, “I feel that the superintendent needs to step down, and also the president of the board.”

The protesters also want the students who wore the costumes to apologize themselves to Parkview.

New Albany-Floyd County assistant superintendent Bill Briscoe said he did not want to give an interview before airtime or release a statement to the media at 3:30 this afternoon.
